Harvesting

Organic Ground Allspice Berries are typically harvested from the Pimenta dioica tree, native to the Caribbean and Central America. The berries are picked when they are fully ripe, usually in late summer or early autumn, to ensure maximum flavour and aroma. The berries are then dried in the sun until they turn a deep reddish-brown colour, which is characteristic of allspice. Once dried, the berries are ground into a fine powder, which is the form in which it is commonly used.

The composition of allspice includes a combination of flavours reminiscent of cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg, making it a versatile and popular spice in both sweet and savoury dishes. As an all-natural product, organic ground allspice berries contain a variety of nutrients, including vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, vitamin A, iron, and manganese. These nutrients not only contribute to the flavour profile of the spice but also provide potential health benefits.

The organic nature of Organic Ground Allspice Berries means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Organic Ground Allspice Berries in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.

The History of Organic Ground Allspice Berries

Organic Ground Allspice Berries date back to the indigenous people of Central America, who used the berries for both culinary and medicinal purposes. The name "allspice" was coined by the English in the 17th century, as they believed the berries combined the flavours of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. The berries are derived from the Pimenta dioica tree, native to the Caribbean and Central America. Today, the organic ground allspice berries are cultivated and harvested with great care to preserve their natural flavours and health benefits, offering a taste of tradition and heritage.
